The reason it is legal in California is because air cooled motorcycles were overheating in the hot southern California climate. This in turn was causing the already horrable traffic as Mr. Burns can attest to even worse. The law by the way states that motorcycles can lane split in traffic up to 45mph. The motorcycle is not to exceed 5mph faster than surronding traffic. Therefore if traffic is going 15mph your top speed is suppose to be 20mph and so on until traffic reaches 46 mph then you are suppose to fall back into a lane and proceed as usual. So if you can convince the state of Wisconson or the city of Millwaukee (Which is the local indian tribe word meaning the Good Land.) I guess they new way back then that allot of beer was going to be made there. Well any ways back to the original subject. If you can convince them that the extreme heat of your state and gridlock make it sensible than you should be in there.



P.S. Send me some cheese and beer you hoser

Re: lane spilting in CA

Once again you are inncorrect the reason i know is because. WHEN I WAS AT THE MOTORCYCLE SAFTEY CLASS ON THE MILITARY BASE IN SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA WE HAD A CHP MTORCYCLE OFFICER COME IN AND TELL US THE EXACT RULES FOR LANE SHARING AND AS I AND VALBANDIT HAVE ALREADY SAID THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE LAW IS. You might live in california and you might ride but I live in southern orange county and commute to san diego 70 miles both ways in gridlock. I have passed every form of law enforcement and have yet to be ticketed. It is legal to lane split until traffic reaches 45mph. I am not saying it's safe but it is legal.
